[C320-list] Flex O Fold prop specs

[Andrew Santangelo]

Hello Jerry, et. al.,

I do not use a Flex O Fold, however I do not see black exhaust smoke  
when running at max RPM (approx 3200 rpm).  You might want to look at  
this.  I am not a diesel expert, but it could be related to the fuel  
you use, or it could be you need an oil change.  Who knows.

Also, someone said a cruise speed of 6.5 kts at 2700 RPM - this seems  
low.  I run around 7.2 knots between 2500 - 2700 rpm.  Is the hull  
clean?

Best Regards,
Andrew
